Condition Report
In varied state, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. One of the removable nozzles on the candlesticks is jammed, it rotates but does not come out of the socket, the nozzle which can be removed has full hallmarks. Both have filled bases with engraved crests of a bird. Both candlesticks have significant bumps and dents, the one has creases and compression to the base, would benefit from a clean and polish and require some attention. Each piece of the condiment set has a removable blue glass liner, the open salt liner has a minor chip to the top edge. The base of the mustard pot and the pierced cover of the pepper have significant dents. The larger of the folding fruit knives has a vacant cartouche to the handle, the blade of the smaller example is bent and appears off centre but still folds in. The napkin clip has a small castle motif and slide mechanism. The pusher spoon is bent to the stem. The collar from a lidded jar is slightly squished in shape. Two pill boxes are marked 925, one marked 800 and the other marked PACA. Some hallmarks rubbed but majority clear and legible.
